Yeah, no. Katakana is basically parts ripped straight off kanji, and Hiragana developed as a kind of 'cursive' for parts of kanji.

Not only that, but Hiragana at one point had a whole host of various characters to represent each syllable, which was done away with in a script reform (see: Hentaigana).
